  • i dont think anyone understands grover. huh. they do have a bit on near and far in this video. lol. grover does have a lot of gravity.

  • That's what she said... Gotta love office haha

  • yaaaaaayyyyyy

    *claps*

    i loved this when i was a youngin

  • grover is hilarious!

  • Actually Muppetwiki states this song was written by Joe Raposo, not Jeff Moss.

  • From 1970.

  • Grover was the best! A far better muppet than Elmo will ever be...

  • If you've ever watched that new abomination Baby Bear you'll at agree that Elmo is not the worst thing that ever aired.

  • 1. This clip can be seen in scene in Incredible Hulk as a guy watches TV in Brazil.

    2. So nice Brazil allows Sesame Street. Now all countries do.

  • grover....grobi...er ist der beste...they are the best...

  • lol I loved this ever since I was a kid thank you for posting it :)

  • Frank Oz was a very gifted Muppeteer as Grover, Bert, and Cookie Monster on Sesame Street. He was Jim Henson's right arm! May Muppet King Jim Henson always rest in peace in heaven!

  • My teacher wanted me to see this to understand prepostions and she said this would be funny and it is, Thanks Mrs. Hoskins!

  • exercise****

  • omg grover stop complaining and exercising more you weakling. GIVE ME 10!!!

  • Whooohooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! GO GROOOOOVEEEERRRRR!!!!

  • Ooohh, I loved this as a kid. We still sing it periodically, it was just a riot when we were little. Poor Grover.

  • i was tired for two days watching this clip as a kid lol

  • poor grover. you've gotta love his determination^_^

  • A true classic. Watching these old clips is great, brings back alot of memories and makes you realize how the show has gone downhill since then. Old school Sesame Street will always be the best

  • Grover was a heavy smoker back then...in his waiter days, so happy he has recovered. I am now 35 years old and he has convinced me to quit (I sneeak one in occassionally) You can learn everything from Grover!!!!

    I remember this video clearly. I must have been 5. I wanted swing doors like that ever since..who says TV doesn't effect our little pea brains...as smart as we like to think we are.

    OKAY Grover..I'll quit smoking...yes blue master...

  • At about :56-:57 you can see the bottom of the Grover puppet where his body ends.

  • I totally remember this one. My grandma had doors like that in her basement and I'd play this segment when I was a kid.

  • I love Grover! He's so determined to do whatever it takes to teach us children these important concepts ^_^

  • Ha ha Grover is running out of breath lol

  • Cool

  • I once had this song on a record. Grover says at the beginning, "You know what goes around? This record goes around!" Then he keeps telling you to look at the record when he sing about "around."

  • i seen that clip long time ago i like how grover sings

  • and he even taught backwards in the end.

  • Do you have Near & Far?

  • You mean the song by Harvey Monster,Kermit the Forg,Elmo,and a Green Monster?

  • No, Where Grover is going back and forth saying Near and far.

  • Oh,are you talking about the sketch where Grover demonstrates Near and Far to the audience but they don't understand at all so Grover has to continually demonstrate near and far till eventually he faints?

  • Correct.

  • Nope.Sorry.

  • I know there was a sketch where Grover demonstrated "near" and "far" on ice skates. Eventually he skates right out of the picture, there's a splash, and we hear Kermit saying, "Grover, get out of the water!"

  • I do remember the "green grover" of the first season doing Near and Far. He'd do Near, and then "when I go way back, way back here like this!" he'd yell about Far. Needless to say he had to do this several times, growing increasing exhausted/exaspered. "Green Grover" showed up in several skits, coming off as an "older brother type" to blue Grover, as his voice was deeper.

  • Is that screen at the beginning from the Old School Sesame Street: Volume 1 DVD? I don't have it yet.

  • Yes.I forgot to edit it out.

  • Don't bother. It's neat to have an idea of what the bonus menus look like.

  • HAHAHA! My beloved Grover. This is one of my favorites.

  • Yes, Grover always wore himself out...but only to make sure that we all understood the concepts fully. Besides, that's what makes you love him all the more!

  • I still don't undertand!

  • And who can forget poor Grover's face when he exclaims "you DON'T understand?!?!...."

  • Of course, the record version is much different; Watch the record go around, jump over the hobby horse, go under the bed, and go through the door.

  • I always felt sorry for Grover running himself ragged whenever this song appeared on TV.
